Yes they are pure bred! Which is really cool. The bad thing is that I believe we only have two pullets out of seven...

How crappy is that! we've been having bad luck with clutches as well. Our first clutch of 12 looks like we have 6 roos and 6 pullets... Maybe less, We have another clutch a hatchin' pretty soon of six. All bantam mixes, I'm praying that i'll end up with at least one pullet from this one, We had another clutch of 6 eggs (Duck eggs) Who hatch a few weeks ago, Hopping they're all girls... Oh btw these were all hatched by hens.. Including the clutch of six eggs.

Did you enter his picture as a calendar prospect? If not, you should!

Well yeah it's disappointing. But knowing that they are full breed maybe I could sell them for a good price. I don't have the heart to well you know....

Yes, i could never cull any of my birds so i either put them up online or take them to a near by auction.. which is normally very successful

okay good, how much would you say they are worth?

 

[MillersFarm]

Well it depends at what age you'd sell them at... Most people dont really want to pay TOO much for a rooster so i would sell them around 15-20$, Its also very important to mention that they're pure bred, Raised in great conditions, what type of feed you use (That one is optional) and their behavior, The more behaved/mature rooster you have the higher the price is

~Edit

Now for an auction i think you'd already know but you would mention a small price to start off with then if people decided they want them then the price will get higher and higher until they are sold...
